UT Law Admissions: Worse than you think

The University of La Verne College of Law in California, for example, came in dead last in the peer reputation survey on the 2013 US News rankings of accredited law schools, yet three-quarters of its students scored a 150 or better.

Kroll’s findings suggest some of the worst abuses of trust are in the (recent) past, when UT Law admitted students not just with LSATs in the 140s, but with scores as low as 138, 137, 136 and even 128.

A 128 is down at the very bottom 1 percent of test-takers nationwide. It means the person got less than a quarter of the answers correct.
